节日送礼也可以简单又有趣！你听说过“一个礼物”原则吗，通过抽签的方式，既减少家庭成员送礼的开支、压力和浪费，又让大家都有机会收到他人精心准备的别具一格的礼物！

还可以DIY：规定只能互相赠送手工制作的礼物（比如，手工编织的围巾、自己烘焙的饼干等）。

如果你需要购买礼物，那就尽可能寻找可持续材料制成的产品。不妨先来看看下面这些礼物创意！

Part of the fun is in creating a winter wonderland both inside and outside our home using simple, affordable and beautiful decorations. Try these ideas that eliminate wasteful materials and can be re-used year after year! 

DECORATE WITH NATURE

Avoid plastic doodads and opt for wood, burlap, or organic cotton. Bring in elements from the outdoors to incorporate into your home, such as a wreath of pine boughs or an abandoned nest to place a candle within.

节日装饰的乐趣在于利用既简单实惠，又美观漂亮的装饰，将自己的家打造成冬日仙境。不妨试试这些方法，不仅可以杜绝浪费，还可以多年重复使用！

用纯天然的材料装饰：

避免使用塑料制品，应该选择木、麻或有机棉之类的材料。可以从大自然中寻找一些很棒的灵感，比如，用松树枝编织花环，或者用废弃的鸟巢放置蜡烛。

让“树”更有创意

用LED灯在墙上摆出造型

书本叠放的效果也不错

The family meal is a time to relax, connect and celebrate. With these sustainable Holidays ideas, you can focus on the experience with comfort:

ORGANIC

LOCAL 

FREE-RANGE

Choose a heritage turkey or grass-fed, organically raised roast. Organic winter squash from your backyard, locally grown vegetables from the farmer's market and homemade rolls all create a sustainable, delicious and healthy meal.

节日里的家庭聚餐是享受轻松、欢乐、团聚的时刻。此时融入一些可持续的环保理念，能够让假期更加悠闲、无负担：

有机

本地

散养

选择传统火鸡或者有机的草饲肉类。自家后院种的有机冬瓜，农贸市场里新鲜的本地蔬菜，自制的香甜面包，都可以用来烹煮一顿环保又健康的美餐。

NATURAL CENTERPIECE

Create your centerpiece from natural elements, such as pine wreaths, an arrangement of Poinsettias and beeswax candles.

SKIP DISPOSABLES

Bring out the fine china, utensils and cloth napkins. Or pool resources from several houses for large gatherings.

AVOID SINGLE-PACKAGED DRINKS

Make homemade eggnog, hot chocolate or iced tea in large quantities and prepare pitchers of ice water in advance to set on each table to reduce waste from water and soda bottles or cans.

CLEAN GREEN

Package the rest food with sustainable wrap. Clean up after guests have left with all-natural household cleaners and reusable dishcloths.

 自然装饰主题

利用自然元素制作中心装饰品，比如摆上松树枝编织的花环，或者将一品红和蜂蜡蜡烛组合在一起进行点缀。

避免使用一次性用品

摆上精美的瓷器、餐具和餐巾。或者将几家的餐具和用品集中到一起共享。

避免购买单独包装的饮料

可以多自制一些蛋奶酒、热巧克力或者冰茶，提前在每张桌上准备一些冰水，可以减少瓶瓶罐罐的使用。

餐后清洁也要绿色环保

使用环保材料打包厨余。客人离开后，使用纯天然的家用清洁剂和可重复使用的抹布进行清洁吧！
